These look great. No more costly than what folks pay to replace the already functional OE strut brace for an aftermarket one

Between showers gave the engine bay a check over and wipe down ready for JPS this weekend. Few bits done recently: Black wrapped the HD grounding kit as red just didn't go, replace brake vacuum hose with orange silicon one. Fit new carbon fibre engine cover aftet a quick clean up, new Tomei oil cap and refit Ramair cone filter. Forgot how beautiful the VQ35 sounds on WOT with one of these!!! Go to product at the moment, Autobrite Direct Pink Sheen trim dressing.

Nooooo you don't go into a dealer in the days an ask for an R34 GTR. You would just say Skyline GTR. R32, R33 etc is the model code like Z33 and Z34 or DC2, DC5, E46, e92..... Those always remain in the background as the manufacturers build code - it's different to the name of the car. 911 can be 964, 993 996 and so on as their build codes.
-
Well Porsche in the days actually wanted to use 901, however Peugeot told them to sod off and so they used plan B and settled on 911 lol I think if Peugeot kept going they'd next be at 309 and that name had its day so *08 is here to stay. Audi had the 80 and 100 then settles on A4. Citroen use to use names Saxo, Xsara now settled on C1, C4 etc.
-
Peugeot has now stuck with 08 or 008 for their line up now, bar RCZ. I remember a simpler time when we had 3, 5, 7 and 8 series now, all gaps are filled lol

Tidy pal, I recently did the same along with the rear silencer as it's stainless steel. -
From Tsukba and Ring times. No, when the weights are near enough the same and one has 60hp less and laps times are very similar. I remain it's clearly not better in every way, however I've said my piece on the matter and backed up with facts not subjective feels or impressions.
-
Disagree completely, the M3 with 60hp more is only a tiny fraction quicker than a DE at said track. So how will it maintain its advantage with way less power? Fact is this far superior car with alot more power is only .3sec per mile quicker at the Nurburgring. Also Silverstone National is mainly straights into 3rd gear left corners, not very technical. Never said the 350z would be quicker, but it difference is from what one would expect for a far superior car with 60hp more over the other car.

We'll Done Glen!! 2nd is a great result and 1st no doubt will be next. Car looks really smooth and planted. Nice 350z lockout of the top spots fellas. You juggling loads fella, you need a day to be 30hrs at least lol

Completely hear what you say Dan, I've not driven one however if an M3 had to make do with 60hp less would it be able to keep up with a 350z round a track like the above? Obviously not, so how can it in performance terms be far superior? Just trying to understand your comments from a performance POV.
